BARLEI-Trade is mainly of jobbing charac-
ter, being rather slow of movement and limited
in quantity. Still, prices show fair strength.
For feed descriptions, 81 Is = ctl is the standard
price, and it is on this basis that transactions
are negotiated. There is moderate activity in
Brewing, and business in this line is expected
to increase in the near future, while values are
not expected to weaken. at the moment 81 %
p ell is the admitted quotation for anything OF
desirable character.

FRGIT-The market was deluged with Cher
ries this morning over 5000 boxes coming to
hand. Strawberries were weak to-day, there
being more or less custom diverted to other
kinds. Wild Blackberrics are Offering, but find
poor sale. Receipts of Rasperries are enlarg
ing. Gooseberries are abundant and cheap
Apricots are seen occasionally, selling at fancy
figures Quite good sprinkling of Ripe Cur
rants arrived to-day. Oranges are less in

HONEG-At the moment there is no reliable
information on which to base an estimate as to
the extent of the coming crop, calculation in
the premises would be wholly speculative
Local supplies are claimed to be not much over
loo cases. We quote Comb. 12@1ic p 10 for
choice and case for common; bright extracted,
41@(G5c.
BUTTER-There are no aceumulations of
strictly choice fresh Butter, and supplies of Or
binary grades are not of extensive proportions.
More than usual competition among buyers
for selection has given the situation a firmer
tone generally. Should the inquiry slacken,
prices would likely shape little against the
selling interest. We quote: Fancy, dc;
good to choice, 1920; fair, 16dSc; mixed
lots, 12@l5c; frkin, 1S920c for fancy, 16@lSc
